Candida auris Outbreak in a COVID-19 Specialty Care Unit — Florida, July–August 2020
Open accessAbstract
In July 2020, the Florida Department of Health was alerted to three Candida auris bloodstream infections and one urinary tract infection in four patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) who received care in the same dedicated COVID-19 unit of an acute care hospital (hospital A). C. auris is a multidrug-resistant yeast that can cause invasive infection. Its ability to colonize patients asymptomatically and persist on surfaces has contributed to previous C. auris outbreaks in health care settings (1-7). Since the first C. auris case was identified in Florida in 2017, aggressive measures have been implemented to limit spread, including contact tracing and screening upon detection of a new case. Before the COVID-19 pandemic, hospital A conducted admission screening for C. auris and admitted colonized patients to a separate dedicated ward.

Analyses of 2019-2021 large health care claims and vital statistics data found an increase in the rates of hospitalizations and deaths caused by fungal infections, including invasive candidiasis, potentially related to a COVID-19-related increase in patients with critical illness and limitations in enforcement of infection prevention and control measures.
“Analyses of 2019–2021 large health care claims and vital statistics data found an increase in the rates of hospitalizations and deaths caused by fungal infections, including invasive candidiasis (18,19), potentially related to a COVID-19–related increase in patients with critical illness and limitations in enforcement of infection prevention and control measures (20).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
